1985 Nissan 720 Pickup king cab review from North America
"Better than a Timex Watch!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission was rebuilt at 110,000 miles.
I replaced a clutch slave cylinder at 155,000 miles.
I put a new water pump on at 200,000 miles.
I changed the transmission again at 225,000 miles (I attribute that to hauling a bobcat skid steer around)
General comments?
This truck refuses TO DIE! It is super dependable. Even though I have replaced items on it, it has always taken me home to get the repairs done.
I have been across the states from MD to CA 7 times in it.
I've lived in extreme cold, hot, dry and humid climates, but it has not mattered in regards to reliability. It will start when its too cold for new fuel injected cars to do so.
The king cab is great for extra stuff, but not for long distance passenger transportation.
This was my first vehicle that I purchased in high school. The day before yesterday I was called for my 10 year high school reunion and I still have the same truck as my primary transportation.
